Slipcovers

As I have mentioned previously, we have my mom’s old couches in our basement. At one point, she wanted a change, and gave these slip covers a try. She never had much luck with them, and I can see why. Just take a look at that love seat. Yesterday, we bought a few pvc pipes to shove down between the cushions and the back of the couch. It’s an old trick which makes it harder for the cover to come un-tucked. I’m hoping it works for us here. Greg needs to cut the second pipe to size so I can take on the love seat next. 

Other than the fussy slipcovers, the basement is coming along, slowly but surely. This shots give you a good idea of how much light we actually get down there. But I can’t wait to paint a lighter color. I think it will make a big difference.

It's shaping up nicely.

Couch Cargo

Today, we headed back to Boston after a lovely Thanksgiving with my mom. She’s giving us her old couches for our basement family room. We decided to transport them in the back of Greg’s truck instead of dealing with the hassle of a rental trailer. We lucked out with beautiful weather for the trip. 

As always, Greg did an amazing job packing the truck. As we speak, he and Jeff have just finished moving the couches successfully into the basement (pictures soon), door back on the hinges and all! Whew!
